"Ut's not aven a snake-bite that trinket wud save ye from, let alone a ghost.",Anson's jaw dropped and he backed fearfully away.,"That don't make no difference; you go along. I see Ann's made a mistake in doin' up Mrs. Keeler's parcels. You can't go back for a bit, anyways, so you might as well have your supper.",Billy had heard and understood.

The sole feature noticeable in him was a look of sullenness, a sour, sneering, quarrelsome air about the mouth, to be found perhaps in the curve of his thin lips.,"You bet," Maurice managed to answer.,"Trust to me, madam," said Mr Lawrence, and taking the old lady by the hand he marched her on to the planks, and they went in safety over the side into the ship.
